CHAIN tour fanreports tidbits from Twitter. I have the feeling this is just half of what I've actually translated and shared on Twitter (I'm missing the "pr0n positions NxO" and I'm quite sure I translated some tweets about that), but it's almost impossible to backread Twitter 5 months back so I just gave up and collected what I could find for personal backup.
NOTE 1: These are just the tidbits I've translated myself. It's NOT a complete fanreport translation. I generally RT-ed the tidbits that were already in English and translated others, therefore some meaningful parts might not be here (because were in the RT).
NOTE 2: This is stuff I translated and shared on Twitter, therefore there will be short words/net language. I've tried to rewrite them decently but some lines are still "Twitter language style".
NOTE 3: I didn't attend these concerts. I just read tweets about the concerts and translated them. The only fanreport I wrote by myself after attending the concert is
Niigata 2/12 here.
12/02/24 OITA
-Kame at Nakamaru dentist's ear: "the doctor's cure didn't hurt". ERO! XD
-There was a birthday surprise for Kame.
Junno: "I go to drink water!" Koki: "I guess everyone knows but yesterday was Kame's bday!", then on screen appeared "Happy birthday!" and Junno came out with a huge cake. Kame was all smiley and surprised.
Ueda "Kame, you did realize it, didn’t you? When you went to pick up the water bottle, the cake was in the perfect middle! You must have realized it!" Kame (while eating the cake) "I didn't realize it at all".
Koki and Ueda were literally devouring the cake xD Maru "it's MC time!" Junno "let's eat together after~".
Koki: "blow the candles!". the lights were turned off, Kame blew but couldn't blew all of them. from the side ueda blew some of them xDDD
- for Kame's birthday surprise, they did secret meeting the 4 of them + staff ♥ kame was very happy!
-Talk about Kame’s birthday.
Kame was alone at home. He switched his phone and went to sleep. "I spent my birthday very quietly..."
At midnight kame's phone kept ringing so it seems he closed it. Koki waited till morning grasping his phone but he received no reply xD It seems Koki was sort of sad for it.
-Ueda asking what prefecture is Oita part of! (which is... Oita prefecture!)
-Maru going for his usual "today's show..." at the end, and Koki "that's not your role!". Then Ueda "Today's show..." and Koki "it's not your role either!" xDDD they did this for around 3 times.
-triple encore. They sang Diamond too.
-After MC, DenDen (Junno+Koki) were on stage alone. Then Kame came back from backstage "oh sorry, was this a moment not to disturb?"
-Koki during final greetings asked the fans to love KAT-TUN more than he himself loves KAT-TUN ("and I really love KAT-TUN so much!")
-Junno during final greetings: "You are like proteins, right... because you're my heart noutrishment."
OSAKA 2012/03/02
-Kame fell from the moving truck during White, but looked fine (he then run towards the stage and was all smiley.)
-they changed setlist from Arena tour. some songs are switched/changed (No matter matter instead of Ultimate wheels)
-Junno confirmed the drama “legal high” at the concert
-Ueda changed solo. Kame didn't.
-Ueda's solo. At the beginning there was Runaway drama footage. Lyrics are linked to it, it’s all English w/ JP translation on screen. lyrics like "i long for freedom", "wanna go out of here", "can you catch me?". He was wearing handcuffs&damaged clothes.
-Kame "Doctor's cure didn't hurt" (in his sexy tone). Maru: "Thanks" (this time he didn't look annoyed) XD
-Kame-Dracula bit Maru, then Koki, then after biting Pepe (monkey!Ueda)'s head, caressed the cheeks and kissed the mouth 2-3 times. Ueda-Pepe went "wa!" XD
-it was a 3h and half concert.
-Encore: Real Face, bonus track (chain of love), diamond. Second encore Going.
-at the encore they appeared on 1 balloon each and the trucks were tied w/ chains
- there was no huge ball game. They did a quiz. MC was 80% Junno talk.
-Game corner. ueda-koki-maru unit. Kame: "me and taguchi are left out. But I'll never unite with taguchi!" J: "Isn't fine, we'll be Kameda! (Kame+Ta(guchi) is read Kameda)" hall: laughs Koki: Then I'll join too and let's do Kameda Kouki! (a wrestler xD)
-Koki's greeting was really touching. (This is difficult to translate...) Koki: Now I can think “I’m glad you’re our hyphens” (It literally sounds like "I have become able think and continue like this, i'm glad you're our hyphens")
https://twitter.com/#!/kmaok/status/175573904075669505-Junno's greeting: if it was just me it'd be boring. being KT becomes funnier ♥
https://twitter.com/#!/2uk_chaaan23/status/175569222007660544-Kameno moment. Kame: "Taguchi, your legs are long! your neck is thin! Your hair are ba... (was probably about to say Dasai=bad). Junno "What were you about to say? *laughs*"
-The boys asked the audience opinions about Taguchi's hairstyle, if he should let them down or style them standing. The “both of them are fine” won. Junno: “ah, I’m so sad~”. Then Kame got closer to Junno and hug him from behind and just said “It means both hairstyles suit you fine, right?”.
-There were many boys at osaka. Not with girlfriends, but in groups of boys. they were calmer than girls watching the con but they looked like they were having fun.
OSAKA 2012/3/3
During Quiz corner there was a bonus question "What was the last line said by Bem in Youkai Ningen Bem?" and Kame was seriously wondering. In Kame's mind he had the consciousness it was the "sayonara" said among the flames to Natsume-san, but it wasn't said with the voice, so was considered wrong. Kame depressed a lot xDD
OSAKA 2012/3/4
-in encore, they took a photo for Kame camera (MAQUIA) of all KAT-TUN with the audience as background.
-Quiz: "What were KAT-TUN doing on 2012.1.9? Maru: ...magazine photoshoot! *wrong*
Kame rang the buzzer and was about to answer but the other team interrupted and answered "Lock on PV filming!" and it was right. From here Kame started a super-childish moment. Kame: "You pressed the pinpon (=buzzer) right? and you said magazine photoshoot right? Then it was bubuu (=wrong sound) and I pinpon here but you answered by youself! But I knew it!" [All with a kid face and kid language xD]
FUKUI 2012/3/16
-Koki: "This team (Yucchi+Junno) are all pure; this team (Kame+Tacchan) are all perverts". XDD
-Koki as final greeting: please stay between "KAT-TUN" letters and connect us forever
-Kame about Gogo no kocha "if you drink this it seems you'll turn into kamenashi!" koki "then before the live let's all drink it!" Kame: "that's not KAT-TUN! It would be KAKA-KAKAKA!"
-Maru repeated his "please marry me!" and koki "enough of this!" xD
-Ueda changed his solo again, "hansel und gretel" (the song he sang at arenas)
-Kame-Dracula whispering at Pepe/Ueda's ears, very eroi again... xD
-Dracula and the dentist meet this year for a reconciliation after how they parted in 2010. so Maru: "i accept your feelings". kame "all?" *open shirt* Koki: "even if you open your shirt we can't see your nipples". Kame looking down at his chest after being said this by koki xD
(if you remember, Kame-Dracula started the Nakamaru clinic skit in NMP DVD with open shirt and closing it he said “sorry, you can see my nipples, right?”)
-During perfect, maru's harmony was answering to the lyrics themselves xD like "if you go out the city you can meet new people", maru "you can, yes". "even if you do a simulation in ur mind u won't see unless u go outside", maru "you can't, right"
-Koki's "tomaranee! (I won't stop!) in Yorokobi no uta was followed by Maru answering "please stop!" XD
-Kame watched hayami-san ep with Johnny-san during DBS meeting. He said it was embarrassing to watch the gay scene with him.
-MC was becoming too long and without saying a thing Ueda went to pick up everyone's jackets to change; KAT-TUN said "you look like the stylist" XD
-Koki (referring to Damena yoru 2): "watch it!" audience "we can't!" Ko: "it isn't broadcasted here? then come to my house" Kame: "is your house as big as this hall?" Ko: "this is just the entrance!" XDDD
-also kame hadn't the paper w/ the band members’ names, so without moving the mike he said to Ueda "there isn't!" (the paper), and everyone could hear it ^^’ so he just said "bass!" and it was Junno who followed up saying the name "Hideki!" and all the members’ names xD
FUKUI 2012/3/17
-backstage repo. Fan: "koki! (´;ω;`)" KoKI: "What happened? Don't cry!" fan :"I'm happy being a hyphen" KoKI: "I'm happy too!" Fan: *cries" Koki: "Are you fine now? *laughs* don't cry, don't cry!" Fan: "thank you!" Koki: "yeah!". Koki was smiling all time
-backstage repo. fan "Kame-chan, I like you!" Kame: "Thanks" (too low tone) Fan: "Thanks to Kame-chan I started to like baseball". Kame: "ReallY?" *eyes shining* fan: "Ah, thank you a lot!" Kame: "yeah!"
FUKUOKA 2012/4/6
Kame wants to live in Kyushu in old age because half of population is made of women XD Also commented "as expected there are many beautiful girls!" Ueda: "where? Where were they?" N: "Kamenashi-kun, you said it in Hokkaido too!" K: "But there were many in Hokkaido too!" (

http://bit.ly/Hlsb6c )
- Koki: "what did I eat yesterday...? I ate with Taguchi!" Kame: "You ate Taguchi?" (T/N: it can have sexual implication xD) Ko: "I ate WITH Taguchi!" Ka: "So you specially called him out? In private?" Ko: "No, it was together with the staff, at the radio ending party... I don't go out in private with him". Poor Junno... Xd (
http://bit.ly/Hj4827 )
- toward the end of MC, Maru complained "isn't weird to say "smartphone" as "sumaho"? There's no "ho"!" Koki: "let's continue with the next song, SMILE FOR YOU, in short, SUMAHO!" N: "That was a nice one!"
T/N: in katakana スマートフォン "sumaatofon", often said in short スマホ "sumaho" ("fo" is often written/said "ho"; here Maru's complain). "Smile for you" becomes スマイルフォーユー"sumairu foo yuu", in short... "sumaho" XD (
http://bit.ly/HuOyju )
-Junno "We'll never leave you, so you all too, please don't leave us either!" ♥ (

HIROSHIMA 2012.04.14
-For the triple encore Kame didn't come out. Everyone was calling "Kame! Kazuya!". Koki: "If I call Kame "Kazuya" I enter the (dream Boys) Champion mode!" Kame: "champ..." Koki: "Kazuya..." Kame: "Champ..." Koki: "Kazuya..." Kame: "I didn't call Koki "champion" (In dream boys) though..." XD
-During NeverxOver everyone did airsex (not first time they did it in this tour) XD Kame-> thrusting from behind, taguchi->cowgirl position; Koki->spanking, Ueda->Missionary thrusting violently and was warned by Koki (XDD); Maru->moved from cowgirl position to missionary, stopped here blushing xD
SENDAI 2012/04/27
-tweets about backstage, all saying Kame was very sweet (so today no scary glance like the other reports LOL~)
- Also, today KAT-TUN was also the first Johnny's group after 3/11 earthquake who held a full concert in the stricken area. Before there has been just a small performance by Arashi for NTV (Chikara no ongaku, iirc?) (bit.ly/KgKd4p)
FINAL GREETINGS (first posted
here @going_gonin)
KAME
Everyone, thank you for today. Here with Sendai our tour after 2 years as KAT-TUN comes to end. I've really felt a lot of feelings in these 2 years. The fact of being able to spend a joyful time with all the Hyphens of Tohoku's Sendai has become an irreplaceable, precious moment.
In the 11 places until now, with the title CHAIN I/we've become conscious of the bond, the connection with all of you. All of you here in the last place we visit, Sendai, have smiled, and I could actually feel the connection with everyone, I'm glad.
I think that there are still many hard things, but please don't forget the connection with the Hyphens of all Japan... no, with the Hyphens of the whole world, and with us [KAT-TUN]; and from tomorrow smile and be cheerful.
Please smile to the people around you. Please deliver a laghter and a smile to also the Hyphens that couldn't come here today. Please enclose in your heart today and don't forget it. We're connected to you. Thank you.
KOKI
Thank you so much for today. I've been thinking a lot about the meaning of the title CHAIN, the meaning of me standing here. It's delivering here to Senday all my feelings, and also the smiles, the power, the energy that I've received from the Hyphens all around the country.
I don't want to say like I'm a stranger stuff like "give your best", but I think there are many hard things, I think it's hard. One high school student boy said on TV "This is very hard, but the kanji for "hard" are written as "great change". I believe from now on everything will greatly change". I think it's exactly this.
For this reason what we can do is making you smile. I think this is the meaning of us standing here. I've hold many feelings and I've been standing here, but being able to see your smiles calmed me. I've calmed and I've been about to cry all day. I'm glad.
From tomorrow, give a smile to the people around you. That is the real meaning of CHAIN. Between Hyphens, and also to people who aren't an Hyphen, give them a smile. Thank you a lot for today.
TAGUCHI
Thanks everyone for today. Really thank you for coming here. Singing and dancing a sense of unity was born, I'm really happy we could understand each other enjoying. Reuniting like this I could feel the bond with each of you. I am very glad we've travelled all the country and could feel also the bond among the fans themselves.
We'll always continue going forward, so let's reunite and smile next year and the year after too. Thank you, it was fun.
UEDA
Thank you for today. I was relieved to be able to finally see your smiles and that you were enjoying. We've received power from the people of the 11 places till today, I wonder if we were able to show [this power] to all of you here in this last place? I'm happy with just this.
I don't know what would be good to say, but... in sad times and happy times, when you're suffering and when you're smiling, we're on your side. We want to do everything we can, so we want to receive power from everyone.
I'm glad we [KAT-TUN] could sympathize with you, and also from now on too when we do something we're going to send it to you, so please watch each and every thing we'll do. Thank you.
NAKAMARU
Thank you for today. We've performed for 3 months, but Sendai wasn't clearly decided till half tour. But I'm glad we could make it without problems. I'm grateful to you.
6 years after debut have passed and KAT-TUN entered the 7th year, but I think it's thanks to Tohoku's support. "Give your best Sendai, let's go ahead keeping dear the smile!", we have always sent this feeling from Tokyo. Also the tour till now, we've done it thinking we wanted it to be cheerful. We met face-to-face and I could see your smiles, so it means you were enjoying, right? (applause) Thank you (T/N: "Thank you" was written in English, so i guess he said it in Eng). As far as there are our Hyphens, I want to do it next year and the year after too, so let's reunite again and make some noise. Thank you.
Many other reports pointed that Kame, while saying the line "Hyphens who couldn't come here today" was looking up. So he was surely referring to the fans who were victim for the 3/11 tsunami. Also Kame at the end, after they already turned the back to the audience, raised a powerful and strong fist in the air.
